(per press association). The Defence Fund. Wellington. July 28. At the annual meeting of the Wellington branch of the New Zealand Educational Institute, it was decided that members of the branch should cease to contribute to the Local Defence Fund. The mover of the resolution pointed out that the central institute now had control of £SOO for defence purposes, and theie was every probability that the Central Defence Fund would in a very short time amount to £IOOO. There was an attendance of 130 members.
Privi eges of the Press
When the barque G. M. Tucker completed her sensational voyage from Newcastle last week and arrived in Wellington she was promptly boarded by an enterprising shipping reporter, who today appeared among the defendants before the S.M. on a summons, at the instance of the Inspector of Customs, charging him with visiting the vessel prior to the health officer granting pratique. The Magistrate, however, held that the pressman had acted under the bona fide belief that he was not committing_ an offence. The case was accordingly withdrawn.
